Grid way of growing, learning

One way to grow is to learn and one way to learn is to think of going from the present to the possible,  moving from where we are to where we can be.

One way to know where we are is to use a grid - a two by two diagram.

I got the inspiration from Jo-Hari window.  I have developed  over 100 items in the past few years.

One that I found particularly useful is the following:

I know and I do - quadrant one
I know but I don't do - quadrant two
I do not know but I do - quadrant three
I do not know and I do not do - quadrant four.

The first quadrant is power, performance.
The second is potential - it calls for awareness and action.
The third is dicey - it calls for effort to remove the chaff from the grain.
The fourth is for the future.

Having established in which quadrant I am,
I ask questions like the following to capitalise further.
:
Where am I NOW?
How long have I been there?
Am I moving?
In what direction?
At possible tempo?

That way, I get pointers for action, for learning, for growth.

To recall, in the Jo-Hari window, we have the four quadrants:
I know - You know
I know - You don't know
I don't know - You know
I don't know -  You don't know.

A New Start

This is my grandson Pranav's birthday gift. He has inducted me to blogging.  Yes, today is officially my 89th birthday.  I do not say i am 89 years old.  Age has a feeling component  and i feel much much younger.  Also, I like Vinobaji's way of looking at life.  He used to say: I am one year old. Does it mean 'i am current'?
Pranav tells me that one aspect of blogging is being current.
What i propose is to share some of my learnings each week. 
For example, i learned or relearned last week the following:

1. It is not merely in space research that the last detail, the perfect accuracy matters.

2. The wonder in this world is not that people misunderstand us but that they understand us.

3. Awareness is one thing and alertness is another.  To do the fair thing by ourselves and others, we need alertness.

4. All generalisations are false including this one, someone observed. 

5. Choose to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.

6. Life has to be thought backwards and lived forwards.

7. It is  a human privilege to learn from one’s ‘mother in law’ a privilege not many exercise.
